Artstudio Pro for Positive User Reviews

From a SciFi & Fantasy Artist of 50 yearsI have owned and used this app from its first days. It is by far the best electronic artist tool available. I have tested and discarded many other Art apps in my time. None come close to the feel of this app. Feel and flow are two of the most important attributes of any electronic Art program. This app supplies both of those attributes beautifully. There have been very few times that I have had an issue with this app. A quick e-email resolved my issue. (I usually caused the issue). Don’t waste your time with other art apps. Purchase and enjoy knowing that you have the best. I have been a SciFi and Fantasy artist for 50 years. I have sold my work all over the country. I am also old school and still use acrylics, oils, pen and ink with colored pencils, but I really do enjoy creating with Art Studio. Thanks.Version: 5.1.18

Artstudio ProNot sure what I bought.Version: 3.2.21

Nailed it! PC version?Update! You all have been nailing it with these updates lately. Definitely an iPad art staple. Any chance we pc users might get some love too? Would love to move from iPad to pc in the same environment and keep my video recording. I’ve been recommending this to all my artist friends. Thank you for such a quality app! ———-_———————————— Previous This is probably one of my fave art apps on the iPad Pro. I love having a familiar interface to work with. With that said my biggest annoyance has to be the auto save. I’m glad it’s there but it’s annoying for it to pop up and halt everything until it finishes. I wish it happened it the background without bringing attention to itself. The colors on the side are a fantastic idea but kind of useless as I haven’t found a way to save colors I want there. It would be so much more useful if I could import a palette there or add on the fly. It would also be extremely cool to have 3-4 small fave icons near undo for brushes you want to switch between often. The last thing that kind of gets annoying is the offset of the color picker. It would be more convenient if it were picking up colors right where my finger is or very close to it. Overall even as is I really enjoy using the app and have been recommending it. Looking forward to future updates! :).Version: 1.3.12

Brush engine superior to Procreate.Despite Procreates new brush engine update. It is not even close to art studio pro. This app has by far the best brush engine on ANY platform. It’s a crying shame not enough people use this app!.Version: 2.3.11

Beats Procreate……hands down. Absolutely love this app. Everything about it is awesome. Artist need to start opening their eyes there’s a dang sight more to ASP than other competitors. Well done Devs keep it going. 🤞🙏🫶🍀.Version: 5.1.5

Smashes Procreate in functionality, but it not usability.Really liking the app so far. Im a long time photoshop User and New-ish Procreate user. I’m going to make some suggestions that would improve it considerably. Group masks A pretty clutch photoshop feature missing Colour wheel with gamut masking Elegant way and to me superior way of picking colours for painters Swipe to select layers A feature in Procreate that really saves a lot of time This is what’s on my mind at the moment. I’ll update it if I think of more. Keep up the good work and please heavily consider these suggestions..Version: 2.2.7

FabulousAs a proffesional designer and illustrator Artstudio Pro has changed my workflow completely. I used to use a mix of traditional paper drawing and painting and then work up and enhance my work digitally. Now I can quickly do everything on my tablet and keep discovering new techniques. The software is expansive but without being over complicated. I love the line and freehand modes and the Layer management is a dream. I tried and persevered with several other apps but Artstudio Pro wins hands down..Version: 2.1.11

The Best Available, Hands DownArtStudio is hands down the best photo editing application I have found available on iPhone; hands down, it is the closest thing you will find to Photoshop on an iPhone. Users with photoshop experience will be able to use the application productively very quickly because of the similarities and layout. It allows you to import and export photoshop documents, and I am a developer and graphic designer; so I use this app regularly for quick simple changes or if I am in a bind. The interface is setup very similar to photoshop; it has all the primary features you would expect, and also the most commonly used more advanced features. It’s very useful for creating/editing images for social media and marketing; like editing text layers, adding overlays, or adjusting resolutions for different platforms..Version: 5.1.18

Importing brushes doesn’t workNo matter how many times I try to import a brush, downloaded or one a friend made, it simply won’t import. It’s just greayed.Version: 4.1.5

Probably the best on the marketI have tried and used some other Art apps and Artstudio pro is the most easily usable and logically laid out tools and aspects..Version: 4.1.8

This is literally photoshop, but betterI have NEVER left a review on an app before (and I’ve been an IOS user since the first ever iPod came out), but ArtStudio is just too good not to leave a review for. I’ve been using Photoshop on my PC for drawing, photo editing, and professional work for the past six years and when I finally got an iPad with Apple Pencil support I was really hoping Procreate or one of the numerous other drawing/editing apps would be able to replace the feel of PS. Unfortunately, even though Procreate is indeed an amazing drawing program, it still doesn’t really satisfy my need for the familiar feel of photoshop and drawing with photoshop brushes. ArtStudio Pro solved all my problems. It’s got everything you could need and MORE (I especially love their amazing smoothing/line weight algorithm and pressure customization). It’s basically Photoshop, but without having to pay the ridiculous Adobe subscription every month. The price for this app is perfect, in my opinion (and honestly it’s even a bit low, for all it’s able to accomplish) and I really want to give a huge thank you to everyone who worked on/is working on this app and updating it. You’ve saved me so much money and frustration. Hats of to you!.Version: 2.1.11

Pigment blend is AwesomeWell done team, you’ve nailed the pigment blending. I think its awesome..Version: 5.1

Massive improvement on old version.I bought a Artstudio Pro for my iPhone 6. At first I wasn’t convinced that I’ve made the right choice, as it was tricky to negotiate the menus and there were a lot of things I didn’t know it could do. I’m still learning. The latest update with elastify is a very useful addition as are all the other features. The old version I had before struggled with more than a few letters, especially if they were large images. I have yet to reach a problem where it says I can go no further with the number of images, and the max maximum canvas size ... I haven’t yet discovered what it is, or if there is a maximum. I use GIMP on my iMac. I know this is more expensive (GIMP being free), but I’m considering buying it, as it seems far more user friendly. Anyway, the iOS version is highly recommended, and I expect it would be lightning fast on an iOS 8 or X..Version: 1.2

Time and colour wheelI enjoy this app for features that pro create doesn’t have, however having a colour wheel would make things so much easier and I’d love to have the time displayed on the screen either at the top of the screen like other apps, or near the undo and redo buttons? Tho these aren’t big problems for me, it would still be nice to see them be added within time as the app grows..Version: 2.0.3

Amazing and no one is talking about it.This is by FAR my favourite drawing app on iPad. It is so close to photoshop its crazy, the UI is clean and touch friendly while also giving a desktop class experience, amazing brush set, great software and customisability. I would recommend a feature to be able to save layouts as I’ve moved my UI around a bit and would like to save that layout for every time I open the app (super nitpicked as this app is amazing.) Great work devs! Absolutely worth the $50 one time fee. I will be using this for a very long time.Version: 5.0.1

Great AppI have been using this app for quite a time and I am very pleased with it. How to use the app is not always obvious but persistence is rewarded. The update in April 2019 enhanced the edit facility. I gained the impression that the edit did not work as the app hung when I tried. After a few days I tried again and found how to use the edit facility successfully. (9 Apr 2019) NOTE TO DEVELOPER If this review is edited or deleted (as was my review of 2 April 2019) I shall complain to Apple..Version: 2.1.9

UM??!!!!? WOW!?So, before i bought this, i was on the fence to buy this app or not because i already bought procreate, and tried other drawing apps (such as medibang, csp and a couple more) and I liked procreate best. HOWEVER— I found out this app through a twitter post a weekish ago. Art Studio Pro supports kyle webster + your custom photoshop brushes, elastify/liquify, CROPS, has screen recording (duh), unlimited layers, the ability to change the image + canvas size AFTER you created the file, and it has CLIPPING MASKS. These are only some of the features I mentioned, but Art Studio Pro is far, far ahead of procreate in terms of customizing and editing... It is a smaller version of photoshop, and it is freaking AMAZING. Procreate? Well, let’s just say procreate is “dead” to me now... All I use is Art Studio Pro, and it’s really all you need...and it’s only a couple more $$?! Like dang....... I’ve also been telling/yelling everyone to try out this app on instagram, (If you want to see some of my work done on ASP, i’m soyeyoh on insta) because although it’s not advertised as well as procreate, its functions, I think are superior than procreate...again, IMO. Anyways, thank you art studio pro... you’re doing god’s work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.Version: 1.3.7

Apple PencilThe app. Is great once you get the hang of it. The pencil pressure one has to set up oneself. I didn’t know at start. But, was so informed. Now works great..Version: 2.1.9

AmazingA great app for artwork, i love it. I wish the smoothing on the brushes could have an option to work without the spring, similar to Paintstorm or Clip Paints stabilisation settings. Also a close gap for the bucket tool would be amazing. Other than that, it has all the tools i need to create art..Version: 2.3.7

Art Studio is FabulousI am a photographer and a surface /media graphic designer of nature and tropical designs. Artstudio is so useful and fun I literally have to set timers to remind me to take a break and take care of the other non creative jobs in my life. For anything creative I am always on the my large iPad Pro using art studio. I have hundreds of designs in process saved in the cloud that I can work on literally anywhere with complete freedom of just needing my iPad. Not a moment of time devoted to creative thought is ever wasted or lost. And all my designs can be used or printed on so many different media and surface products in very large sizes. I will always be trying to max out the total pixel size of my designs with multiple layers and bumping into the iPad Artstudio processor size limits. This is the one area that I hope to see IPad or Artstudio expand. My Society6 surface designs need really huge pixel files to print on large surfaces. And all photographers are discovering they need to combine 4 photos to get the required pixel size for extremely large print jobs on Society6. Even the best camera cannot create the pixel sizes required for large surface printing. I love Artstudio. I know if the raster graphic technology is available they will have it first and be the easiest to use. Thank you LuckyClan..Version: 2.1.13

Can I revert to an old version?I don’t know when it happened, but I recently updated this program (manually), and its pretty much unusable. I had pencil mode on with finger set to colour pick. So when I touch the screen, it would only colour pick. That no longer works. If I’m in select mode of any sort, it will do selections or If I’m transforming, it will change scale/rotate. So trying to zoom in or out, there’s a 50/50 chance it will zoom out, or do the above. It lags between switching tools. Sometimes it just won’t switch, as if it didn’t register. If I’m trying to move something and I’m not moving it much, it snaps back to its original position and asks me what layer I want to be on. Grouping all tools into an “other” slows down the process. Not having the selection tool lasso and a move tool available without having to do any extra taps and searching for them is super inefficient. Here’s a hint, no one uses the rectangular selection tool. It doesn’t need to be in a place that’s easily accessible. This went from a good pc type art program ui to bad procreate clone. Since I updated this, I’ve started using procreate again. The only thing this program does better than procreate now is that it has rulers. If there is a way to revert to an old version, I’d change my rating back to a five, but as it is, I’m just going to use procreate..Version: 3.0.4

Great feature set!Upgraded from the original to the pro version and am very impressed. If you’re used to using Photoshop then using ASP is a breeze. The ability to import ASE files in particular is a handy feature for my workflow. The one disappointment is that the borderless print option doesn’t work and you still get a white border around the edge of the print, so this is still not an ‘all in one ‘ option for me and occasionally will need to export work if I need this feature..Version: 2.1.11

Best drawing app for meHi! I’ve been using ArtStudio for over a year now and I absolutely love it. The latest update has changed a lot of things and it’s made me like it even more. The only thing that’s missing is the ability to create animation and the option to colour pick from both the display colour and the colours from the layer only. If these two were added, I’d go back to using ArtStudio Pro as my default software. I currently use CSP but I prefer the interface of ArtStudio Pro. I’ve tried Procreate but it never felt right to me. Doesn’t matter how many times I go back to it, I always end up moving back to CSP..Version: 3.0

Disappointed, certain features are lostI used ArtStudio often and enjoy certain features it has over other apps. One being able to control the lead in / lead out function, with finger or normal stylus pen. Now this option is gone. The opacity option preference takes two three steps to get to, when turned on as the preferred visual option, it gets reset every time I switch brushes on the iPad. Also, the redo option takes extra steps to pull up and execute. There are perhaps other features improved but these ones seems to have taken back steps. I have emailed support for clues on these issues but I have not heard from them. This is more than 3 weeks now. Disappointing for a great former app. I think if the support was to be more responsive it would have been better..Version: 1.0.14

GreatExcellent as an alternative to photoshop for the iPad Pro. I will be using it every day. Will have to get used to not using keyboard shortcuts, I use mainly for collaging and editing different photos together, would be good to have a shortcuts bar or something, but all in all it is perfect for what I need it for..Version: 1.3

Pretty Much Perfect!Art Studio was the first art app I tried out on my old 3rd gen iPad, and it’s amazing to see how much it has grown in that time and how well it suits doing professional work on the iPad Pro. A familiar interface layout makes it simple for desktop users to transition over to working in Art Studio, while smartly-implemented tablet features make it easy to stay! Brush creation is as nuanced and advanced as Clip Studio and Photoshop on the desktop! I was able to perfectly recreate my favorite custom brushes using the same brush tips and patterns. Performance is amazing on the 2020 iPad Pro and absolutely demolishes my PC at the same canvas resolutions (4K - 7K). My PC is "better" on paper with an expensive GPU, CPU, and tons of RAM, but iOS and Art Studio’s optimizations make that basically irrelevant. In short, I don’t miss my PC when I’m using this app. My only cons are a couple features I wish could be implemented: 1. The ability for the magic wand to select from reference layers — this would be especially useful for me as a comic artist and digital painter for making quick selections from my flat colors layer. 2. The ability to have multiple presets for the Quick Menu that you can swap through when you bring it up. Without a keyboard for shortcuts, this ability would be absolutely invaluable for me. Art Studio is easily the best $12 I’ve ever spent on software! Fantastic job, devs!.Version: 2.3.27

Absolutely the best programs that I have on my iPad for painting.If this app ever quit working and it hasn’t yet, I would be completely lost on how to turn out the beautiful paintings that the turn out using this app and one of my main go toos. No I take it back it’s not one of my go to‘s it is my first go to you for almost everything I start. I wish I could show you the beautiful paintings that I have done using this program. Our use the old version for years but this new version wow it has so many features. I can actually take a photograph and Using the smudge acrylics Brush, it’s just like I’m painting on canvas with a brush but using my Apple Pencil. And it really looks like and here’s an acrylic painting on my iPad. Unbelievable, the best type program I have ever bought, or probably will ever buy and I have a lot of them. Thank you for making this app available it is an artist dream..Version: 2.1.6

Awesome and will be better!This is a very good app for many reasons such as the brushes are great and much more and the app will be getting even better! I have made suggestions to the developer and he was very responsive!.Version: 2.3.16

HmmmWill update as I play with the program more, Good brushes so far I l Iike them! Took some time to find them lmaooo,.Version: 2.3.2

Outstanding high quality appIt’s obvious that a lot of time and effort have gone into this app. Every facet makes it an exceptional experience, from subtle stroke textures to layering to editing to selecting to cloning to effects and so much more! Couldn’t recommend it more highly - well done!!.Version: 1.3.8

Packs a punch!This app really needs to be up for an Apple design award. I've used Photoshop since the dinosaurs roamed the earth, and hey, this just out evolved Adobe. A beast has arisen! Just give it a go, you'll be hooked. Forget Procreate (good, intuitive but its brush engine pales next to this) and Adobe's own Photoshop for iPad (last time I looked you couldn't even import brushes?!?) which is truly laughable if not so sad; an expensive toy. This along with Affinity software and Lumafusion make an iPad a force to be reckoned with. All we need is a Pencil with rougher tip for a truly paper like experience....Version: 3.0.11

Highly Underrated AppThis has become my go-to digital painting app. Though Procreate’s painting engine is amazing, it doesn’t allow me to create 24X36” canvases at 300dpi. Artstudio does. Also, Procreate clips any part of a layer that is moved outside of frame. I often slide my layers around and move them in and out of view. Artstudio allows me to do this without clipping them. Another thing I like about Artstudio is that I can create folders and subfolders while on the home screen. The Affinity apps and Procreate don’t allow me to do this. Sounds trivial but subfolders are vital to my workflow. Artstudio has a great painting/drawing engine and plenty of tools to utilize. I find the interface to be easy to navigate. If you’re familiar with Photoshop then Artstudio won’t be difficult to pick up. Finally, no subscription! I don’t do subscription apps. I like to own my software. Artstudio is a one-time fee and not expensive at all. Great job Lucky Clan!.Version: 3.2.6

Excellent, except for one thing:From what I have seen so far, this app is top notch, real professional digital painting and editing software. It is fantastic. The only thing that I think really needs to be fixed is: there needs to be an option to reset a brush to its default settings. I have been having the problem of the ‘color acrylic’ brush not painting when I open a new document, and an option to reset it to default settings might fix that, unless the issue is having more than one copy of the same brush with different settings, that is preventing me from painting. PS: I have noticed the same problem of brushes not painting with two other brushes (that come with the program): Rough Acrylic and Mixer Rough. I have tried to find what brush settting, if any is causing the problem, with no luck so far. Please, can I get a developer response on this? I would greatly appreciate it..Version: 2.3.13

I Love this app!As an illustrator and logo designer Artstudio Pro is my go to for digital sketching and concepting. There is a lot more under the hood then other similar drawing apps and it knows when to get out of the way and when to flex it’s muscles. The smooth and buttery painting tools are the best I’ve tried. I highly recommend..Version: 4.0.13

Excellent App for Photoshop refugeesI am a beta tester for Procreate. I have been since their second year in business. I have been a loyal user of Adobe software since 1997. I have also used over two dozen mobile art apps and I’ve watched ArtStudio evolve into something extraordinary. With each iteration, the team at Lucky Clan outdo themselves and now it’s to a point where I simply haven’t touched my Cintiq and desktop Mac in a few years. It’s a great time to be a work from home digital illustrator and thanks to this iPad Pro there’s no turning back. If you have spent years using Photoshop to illustrate bitmap images, you can transition almost seamlessly to ArtStudio Pro. It handles far more layers than Procreate and has many of the bells and whistles you are used to at Adobe. Hats off to you guys over there. Glad I stuck around because I can say that your app is top notch and the performance takes a back seat to no one. This app is a 10 out of 10 for me..Version: 4.1.5

Amazing App!Computer quality image editing on your favorite and more convenient devices!. Just needs more ways to import files such as .gif .apng and MOST IMPORTANTLY .mmg files. Cant wait for this app to keep growing and upgrading..Version: 2.2.9

Better than ProcreateAs a Procreate user for 1 year I decided to try out Artstudio Pro and am loving it. It has all the missing features I miss in Procreate. I use Clip Studio a lot on my MacOS, but find the iPad version to need some work on their UI, even though you can customize it, it needs some work. Artstudio Pro is the perfect solution for me. The UI is great and simple on the ipad, while still allowing all the advanced tools I use on the desktop. If you just dabble with art and plan to just doodle then Procreate is a good option for you since the UI isn’t very customizable and that can make it simpler for beginners. But if you hope to ever go beyond that then I highly recommend Artstudio Pro..Version: 3.2.12

Incredible!I've used Adobe fresco for months now and before that procreate and Artstudio pro blows them out of the water. It has everything. The wet brushes feel amazing, and the program runs so smooth! I'm very happy with this purchase!.Version: 3.0.15

Love It!I much prefer this to Procreate. I used it for drawing more at first because I think it handles pressure sensitivity better. Then I realized that it uses a lot of my favorite keyboard shortcuts from Photoshop CS6 which I still use. Huge bonus is I can hold ‘e’ on my keyboard to erase and when I let go it reverts to my previous tool (pen in most cases). I loved this about PS CS6 and no other program does that - but ASP (that I know of, not Procreate or Corel Painter 2017 at least). Draw on ASP in IPad, export to my desktop and finish in CS6, with layers and all! Love it! IMO this is the Photoshop I need for the IPad, done better than Adobe ever could and without subscription fees. Also, for painting the blending is superior to even CS6, but I haven’t really tested that yet..Version: 5.1.21

Deserving of a place on every painter’s iPadThis app sits between Procreate and Affinity Photo on my dock. It actually functions like a middle ground to those apps. It has more adjustment features than Procreate but fewer than AP. It paints better than AP but I tend to like Procreate better for sketching and regular painting without adjustments. It has a bit more lag than Procreate for me but less than AP. ArtStudio Pro has a very Photoshop style interface and function, more so than the more feature rich Affinity Photo or the simpler Procreate. It’s a good and bad thing for me. The familiarity is great but it does slow me down compared to Procreate and even AP somewhat. If what you want most is Photoshop on the iPad, this is the one for you! It’s excellent! Also, the developer is constantly improving and adding to the app, which should be commended since so few developers dedicate so much to updating regularly. UPDATE: The 2.0 Interface adds some really awesome, time-saving things. For one the new color pallet is excellent to have at my fingertips at all times. Having a quick menu like Procreate is definitely a great improvement to speeding up my workflow..Version: 2.0.1

Better than procreateDefinitely better than procreate , more professional it’s real iPad version of photoshop.Version: 5.1.9

Promising! ~LWitherspoonI used the old version of this daily for 5 years. Mainly for hobby (tabletop rpgs), sometimes for my job. I don’t own a pc, so I used it on my phone as a poor man’s photoshop. I was able to get some impressive results doing things that required fine details. I was surprised with what I could accomplish using only my phone and finger. I tried the other popular apps, Artstudio was clearly more powerful and more serious. Now it’s got a new, even more powerful engine with unlimited layers, cloud storage (allowing me to switch back and forth from my phone to my new iPad), and plenty of other new features. I would have given 4 stars, since there’s no user manual and some of the settings/preferences don’t allow me to do what I used to on the old app, but I took some of my problems to their forum and discovered that the developer is very responsive and LISTENS to what their users are saying. I feel my money was well spent, and I’m having fun playing with this new thing whenever I get a chance..Version: 1.1.7

Art Studio Pro for MacI have used this app for many years. I am not an artist. I write children’s books that need colorful illustrations. The tools in ArtStudio Pro provides allows a non-artist to create these illustrations. I really love this app. I used the mouse on my Mac desktop but recently switched to a px-pen deco pro sw drawing pad and pen. Well, the deco pro drivers would not work with my Mac. I emailed Lucky Clan and explained my issue. They worked on the issue until they had the problem resolved. Support like that is very important to me. Now my talented granddaughter is my illustrator and she uses ArtStudio Pro. I write the stories, she draws the illustrations and emails them to me to plug into the manuscript. She loves ArtStudio Pro too, and I’m still having fun learning to draw..Version: 4.1.2

I Love this appIt’s an incredible drawing and painting app.Version: 3.0.7

Wow!!I've been a long time user of ArtStudio (wow, has it really already been six years?) and love using it for all my art for t-shirts and stickers. When I heard that you guys revamped the app, I bought it as soon as I could. After playing around for a little while, there's still some things I need to get used to from the old app. Would it be possible to move the transparency lock on layers back next to the visibility buttons? Furthermore, I always loved the convenience of having the undo and redo buttons right on the front of the screen without having to click a drop down. It was a handy shortcut, similar to CTRL+Z on a PC art program. Will we ever see those features return? Either way, this app is absolutely brilliant, and I can't wait to watch it continue to improve..Version: 1.1.7

Superb!At first I thought this app was pretty dreadful, but that was because the brushes icon is so small to see. Then I clicked on a very tiny number 2, I could hardly see......AND THEN THEY ALL APPEARED! What a revelation! This app went from average, to the best app I’ve used for drawing and ‘messing about’ with photos in 2 seconds flat! Better than any other drawing app out there. Well perhaps not all? but I’ll tell you something. This one would be VERY hard to beat. I’m Gilson Chapple (artist) ‘sunofgilarts’.Version: 2.1.9

Keeps Reverting back to free versionAbsolutely fantastic app, used it for years, best substitute for photoshop on iPad, HOWEVER HOWEVER HOWEVER, it keeps reverting back to the free status version on my iPad and even after restoring purchase tab won’t let me add more layers or save. I have emailed the creators but had no response. WHATS GOING ON? I can’t do my work because of this presumably a bug, I paid £8.99 on top of a previous £15:99 a few years back which I couldn’t upgrade to the new version, developers please fix your after sales support and more so please fix this upgrade bug, it’s VERY annoying. Please HELP ASAP Thanks.Version: 5.0.2

Very powerful but simple to use app!First of all, I must say how brilliant your Art Studio and Art Studio Pro apps are! I’m a tattooist who uses either app on my iPad Pro every single day! I’m still feeling my way around the pro app but getting there slowly! These apps make my job far easier! I very rarely draw any designs on paper anymore. Please may I request a feature to either app which I don’t believe you’ve offered yet? Would it be possible to create the facility to curve/bend text? If you’ve used Adobe Photoshop you might be able to get the idea by checking it out on there. It allows text or full quotes to be curved, into an arc or wavy or even into a full circle or into a heart shape, etc. If you could make this possible, I would worship you guys forever! I’m about to install your fab apps onto my iMac and MacBook also! Thanks again for these awesome apps! I look forward to hearing from you and can’t wait for you to make these updates possible!.Version: 1.1.3

ASP is like photoshop for ipad!Nothing but praise for this app and even in its interface that looks familiar to photoshop. Please add a warp tool in transform, as well as detailed warp please.Version: 2.3.3

Perfect for digital paintingI used to use procreate but jumped ship to this app and I must say that it was worth every penny. It has the functionality of photoshop combined with procreate’s simplistic interface and it perfectly suits the way I like to work (the ability to use my favourite photoshop brushes here is also a massive plus). My one qualm is that the file gallery needs to be polished more, starting with a way to organize files and an improvement on the interface (I once accidentally deleted a file because the delete button was close to the renaming button)..Version: 2.1.7

Blows Procreate to shreds.This app is superior to Procreate on every single metric, except for the round colour (harmony) picker. It actually has a wet mix engine that works wonders like SAI and Clip Studio. Procreate’s brush engine is a really terrible knockoff of Photoshop. I have never seen the limited paint feature anywhere else apart from Corel painter,.Version: 3.2.17

Triangle color wheel please!Coming from desktop clip studio pro, ASP has had pretty much every feature I could need with a customizable and minimalist interface that works extremely well on the iPad. I really thought it basically had it all until I read a book on color theory which convinced me I need to switch to a triangle color picker from my usual square color picker. I was disappointed to see that of all the customization options available to me for the color wheel, switching to a triangle wasn’t an option! I was really hoping to try it because I think it’ll help me keep my values in check. Fingers crossed it gets added eventually!.Version: 5.1.15

I love this appThis app is fantastic. It is certainly better than what I am capable of drawing, but everything I need is there. The tutorials are great too..Version: 3.2.5

I like it better than procreateIts better than procreate if you know how to use it ,its good for coloring definily better ....you can also have abr brush ,symetry on the go ......Version: 2.0.13

Trying to figure out what’s the deference?!Trying to figure out what the difference is between Art Studio and Art Studio Pro besides the hefty price tag for Pro and the other one being completely free! So far both apps seem to be exactly the same for the most part. I actually like the way plain old Art Studio operates a lot better, it feels a bit more user friendly and is a lot less confusing for me then this one I just paid for. Still kinda trying to figure out why I paid 12 bucks for something I was already using for free! Am I missing something... and if so what is it!? It’s a great app don’t get me wrong. I just don’t understand why one is free and one isn’t. I am still hopeful that some feature that I am unaware of will find its way to me while using this app sometime in the near future and all will become clear, and I’ll have a huge aha moment and I’ll know then just what these new and exciting features are. But till then I would have to recommend that anybody that is interested in the Art Studio Pro app just stick with plain old Art Studio..Version: 2.1.8

Great Program! Could use some improvementsI absolutely love this program! It does nearly everything I need it to do! I’ve been able to do the majority of my art and commissions on my iPad thanks to this app. Definitely one of the best low cost art apps you can buy for your iPad! The only thing keeping me from giving this 5 stars is the lack of good blending tools. I haven’t been able to find any brushes that can blend with transparency, I usually have to blend it into another color on the same layer. This makes it so that I have to keep going back to Procreate and my laptop to finish coloring pieces. I would also like to be able to select my own colors for gradients. Those are my suggestions for the developers. Other than that, this is a great program and I use it all the time! Definitely worth checking out! 💖🌸✨.Version: 3.0.10

Professional illustration | photo app for a very low costI do comic book illustration and concept art on this app and let me tell you it is straight fire. I use it for drawing, painting and photo bashing from 3D renders. This app is what’s closest to PS on the iPad. I tested many apps and ArtStudio Pro is the one that offers the most freedom in terms of technical limitations such as number of layers or canvas size. I think people will start to realize how cheap this app is for all the features it offers..Version: 5.1.9

Needs some workTo start off, let me say that I LOVE ArtStudio and Luckyclan. The original ArtStudio has allowed me to create my best visual art since I was in eighth grade, up until now— I’m in 11th grade. This is a very sleek app, and clearly a lot of thought has gone into its development as well as time and energy. However, it is very tiring and almost frustrating to use it from what I have seen so far, with a lot of features it doesn’t need and a lot of unnecessary steps to do things a single command would do. It seems TOO responsive and very sensitive at times, especially to rotation and zooming, and the transform option is not very responsive. The UI and the way the brushes functioned in the old app, as well as the delay/lack thereof on certain things in the old app was what made it attractive to me as a learning artist, and it still is! The complication of the new app is what makes it so hard to use, as for a person like me, a user-friendly setup is COMPLETELY required. Its interface is nice, however it is NOT user friendly. Too complicated with too many hidden features, and it’s so... I don’t know, flat? Like. It’s not fun to use due to the look of it. I however am staying positive and looking forward to future updates and will continue to try to learn the app. I’m not giving up just yet! But my main art app for now— as art is how I make money— will have to be ArtStudio for iPad. Thank you!.Version: 1.2.3

So well thought outJust a great drawing and painting with a great balance of features and usability which allows me to smash out illustrations quickly for commercial purposes, and have fun creatively when not working to deadlines. Would love to see the transform features on the toolbar instead of several taps away in the menu structure.Version: 2.2.1

Love ArtStudio but little glitches with new update *FIXED*Edit: Wow, the dev team is truly amazing. It’s only been a couple days since the issue I was running into about the pixelation when using the undo and redo buttons, as well as the selection issues, but they already came out with an update and everything is fixed! I never write reviews but this app and its team is absolutely wonderful, thank you for being so on top of everything! ~~~ I have been a long time user of ASP, love this app and it’s even replaced Photoshop for me because of how powerful it is. The new update 4.0 has been amazing and love all the new features and UI. The most recent update/version, though, has done something weird whenever I use the undo or redo options. About 70% of the time after pressing undo or redo, my canvas blurs and I have to pan around for it to unblur again. It’s obviously not a huge deal, but it’s annoying enough when I’m constantly using the undo button while drawing and my drawing is constantly blurring. Wanted to bring this to the devs attention in case they haven’t seen it yet from other users. Other than that, this is my favorite application to use! Edit: I also have noticed that when making selections with the lasso tools in the new version, if you pan around or zoom in and out to go make another selection, the marching ants around the previous selections disappear. I have to pan around aimlessly before the selections appear again.Version: 4.1.2

Really goodI love it I was on adobe fresco they had non of the brushes like hairs brushes on there love this app.Version: 5.0.2

Needs colour wheel but other than that is greatIt’s an amazing app, maybe even better than Procreate since it has many features similar to Photoshop. I might be a bit biased, as I’m more used to the Photoshop format, however this app can do pretty much everything on the desktop. A suggestion I would give is for a less awkward placement of the colour wheel, since it bothers me a bit whenever it covers most of my drawing when I’m actually trying to chose a colour. Other than that, I love the app!.Version: 2.0.21

Just brilliant.This app has been steadily improving for a long, long time. The developer is very responsive and updates constantly. Version 3 should have been a paid update! I hope he gets the success he deserves..Version: 4.1.5

Really amazing art app!!!When ArtStudio Pro first came out I was a bit underwhelmed. I felt like I had waited a long time for what turned out to be an app that didn’t seem much different than the original ArtStudio (which I loved). But I was wrong. ArtStudio Pro is really impressive and far better than the original. It has a great brush engine, multiple layouts to suit different users, and a slew of tools and capabilities to pretty much cover whatever your raster or photo based needs are. And to top it all off the developers really seem motivated to make this app better and better. The number of updates that they keep rolling out is fantastic. I Think every iPad artist should get this app..Version: 2.1.9

Best art appCompletly replaced Photoshop for me..Version: 2.3.8

Perfect App to accompany a professional artistThis app, as a concept artist it’s great for drawing and being able to access and edit a pressure curve on the Apple Pencil is dreamy. Thank you for that, Wacom does it on my Cintiq and.Version: 5.0.1

Love it, but theres just one thing i really need…TLDR I need glow dodge.. everything is great, truly, I’ve been using this app for a while and i can work with it, but I NEED glow dodge. I came here from CSP because i was sick of how they double standard their software, as long as you are PC you are free to buy it in one payment, but the price for ipad usage was going up and up from 60 to 70 to 80$ a year. I had this app ever since launch, but at that time there was still a lot of features to be added and glitches to be fixed to I held off on using it until it was better. But after coming for CSP, and having something that instantly brightens my art the way glow dodge does, i cannot survive. My art is alright currently, im not “amazing” by any means, but I truly do use these kinds of tools a lot because of my habits to make the image dull to emphasize the focal point after. Glow Dodge was the tool I used most to achieve this. Color dodge was meh.. and unfortunately thats the thing we sorta have right now is color dodge, there really isnt a tool that makes colors more vibrant, just ones that put hazy color filters, and a LOT of the filters have the same effect..Version: 5.1.15

Professional toolMuch better than procreate. Deserves much more attention, especially if you are used to Photoshop in your workflow. I’ve been searching for such an app after trying extensively Procreate, which felt very short on my expectations. I’m a professional illustrator, I don’t want a cool app with a slick look, I want something that is actually doing what I intend it to do. Artstudio pro is exactly what I wanted. Far more professional, it really can be used in a workflow with Photoshop, and back and forth. No dam automatic crop outside of frame as in Procreate if you move your layer around; no number limit of layers (thank you, but I want to decide how much I need); brush imported from PS are the same here, not a random result; menus are similar than on a computer, which permit you to handle your files the same way as if you were on your computer; you can export your work as a PSD, with all your layers; you can open PS document without problem too, etc. As you can see, I’m more than pleased, this is now my “go to” and this app make my whole “iPad experience” very different. The only downside I can see is that it can get a bit slow for some background manipulations, like changing layers, saving, etc… if you run very big drawings (I work on 12” x 18” canvas at 600ppp) but this is the limit of the iPad, not the app. It is a very powerful app. If you run 300ppp canvas, it is as fast and smooth as it can be. Beautiful work here. Thanks to the team..Version: 4.0.5

Better than ProCreate if you want a more PC-like experience.Tl;dr, if you’re more familiar with the traditional drawing software on PC, this is the app you wanna pick. I’ve been doing some digital sketches in my free time for quite some time and I brought myself an iPad last year. I mostly use Krita on my PC with a pen display before I got the iPad. I’ve told that Procreate is one of the top notch drawing app on iPad and I spent 10 bucks on it and after first few attempts, I immediately noticed that the app is so far away from the traditional drawing software like Krita and Photoshop. Looking around the internet communities I got this app recommended by lots of posts claiming that this is the app for those who has more experience in digital drawing, hence I spent 15 bucks on it to give it a shot after hesitation. At the first glance I can tell that this looks a lot like the UI I’m familiar with, and working with this app for some time I can tell this is the way I recognized in the past. It has no layer limitations like Procreate, so I can work a lot comfortable with no worries, and the brush feels so much better. I will definitely recommend you get this app, with only 5 bucks more expensive you’ll get something more polished and better. I am not regretting purchasing this app..Version: 4.0.12

Great Art AppThis is the best painting app. Lots of useful tools, and a great user interface. But my favourite thing has to be the fact that you can import photoshop brushes and they work perfectly. Looking forward to future updates..Version: 2.1.8

The best professional art app on iPadThis is amazing professional drawing/painting app!Just some suggestions because I want this to be the winner drawing/painting app on iPad . I like the brush engine a lot but I still think that you can make the ui experience more user friendly also would be nice to have the pressure curves control for each pressure and tilt setting. Also additional option in the brush engine to simulate oil and acrylic paint. Thank you guys for the great app!.Version: 2.0.21

Excellent brush engine. Impressive app.Was looking for an app that can simulate a realistic feeling brush work, this one works great and is surprising in the amount of features and how polished the experience is. Runs smoothly on the iPad Air 4, got some neat features similar to photoshop like adjustment layers. Excellent for painting, keep up the great work devs!.Version: 3.2.3

The new version is so diminueshedFormerly a huge fan - but now it’s only got only three paint/draw tools - 1 pencil, 1 brush, 1 wet brush!!! There used be 18 settings within pencil alone. oil brushes, watercolour brushes, stipple brushes - this reduces it to being like a children’s drawing set. Perhaps the there are more fancy facilities - but that’s no use without the basic drawing/painting tools! Useless! Please don’t shut down the earlier version..Version: 1.1.6

Great ProgramNo it’s not photoshop, but it is a good everyday program with good features not available elsewhere on the iPad. Layers and extensive tools to name two. Well worth the money..Version: 4.1.8

Very goodI’ve tried lots of art apps and I like this a lot Definitely worth the money and it works on iPhone too Latest update makes. It even better New lighting effect as good as photoshop and more easy to use.Version: 2.0.1

The bestGréât UI, Great UX... What more could I ask?.Version: 3.0.4

Love it but just one thing…The one little thing is that when you have a picture you mess up and you rub it out it goes to the checkered square then you can’t get the picture back..Version: 5.1.14

Very good toolI use Artstudio Pro almost daily. So much to it, yet easy to learn and grow into. Ideal for the digital artist!.Version: 1.2.2

So close to being perfect!This is the only app I have found to offer anything like a photoshop experience without sacrificing on painting speed. The ability to import brushes that just work is fantastic and seamless, this program handles photoshop brushes better than photoshop! The one thing that keeps me going back to programs like clip studio or Procreate is the quick access features they offer. You can truly work with just the tablet with those programs. You can in artstudio but it involves browsing through the menus or manually selecting each tool or feature when you need it. This seems like a smaller limitation at first but it really prevents the user from ever getting into a quick workflow and I find myself switching back to those other programs when I want to get an idea out quickly. All in all this is a fantastic program that offers a lot of powerful functionality. It is just hindered by the users ability to quickly access that functionality. If and when this app receives some sort of customizable onscreen shortcuts or quick access menu, it will truly be the best available art app on iOS..Version: 1.2.2

Great app!Ive been using art studio for a while now and its honestly one of the best and easiest programs to use. the only downside i see to it, is that it crashes quite often, and i lose progress, but that might just be my ipad being old, but keep in mind it might crash for others too. other than that, i love this app..Version: 5.1.21

Wow... I’m sorry Procreate can go kiss my....Um I have been lamenting how annoying Procreate can be and why it’s gotten so much loved when it cant get a simple thing like adjustments layers right. Then I discovered this gem. HOW IN THE NAME OF ALL ART IS THIS APP SO IGNORED. this app BLOWS PROCREATE OUT OF THE WATER. Amazing on so many levels. Now if you can get warp effects and animation integrated this will be the greatest app in the universe! Thank you so much for this!.Version: 2.2.12

Text tool bugsSelecting text: Each time I need to make an adjustment to the text like changing the size or font, I have to manually highlight the text before doing so. Otherwise, nothing will happen. A bit annoying having to do this every time but hopefully this gets fixed. Text size slider: Moving the size slider to 0 resets the font to default. Again, having to highlight the text and picking the font I originally wanted. Over all, this is a really good art program but there’s some bugs that need fixing. 👍.Version: 3.0.4

能不能加对称线能不能加对称线啊.Version: 3.2.18

This app is amazingI used to use Adobe Photoshop on my MacBook, but no longer have a computer, so use ArtStudio Pro on an IPad Pro. It is fab, I have made detailed sketches to paint from, edited photos (repairs, distortions and colour correction, etc.), created documents with pictures - that have been converted to PDF, and am gonna try to create an animation. It’s so versatile. I think you can even put this on a MacBook, if so, Photoshop is history! The things that I see that could be improved: * A better distortion tool; the fonts are quite minimal. * The filters could be more extensive. * I think that there should be a bin that you have so many days to retrieve from, because - mistakes! It really gives Photoshop a run for its money, literally!.Version: 3.0.18

Great app needs a few minor things to make it close to perfect...Im really enjoying this app...comming from years of csp/manga studio...im super picky about art apps this one has grown on me... Though i do have a few suggestions...i use a fair amount of masking in my art and would like to see layers and folders have their own masks rather than each mask showing up as a new layer type this makes masking a chore when scrolling through a bunch of layers to find what mask goes to what...it would be much easier to see a small thumbnail next to the thumbnail of a particular a particular layer to select to make non destructive changes...and adding this to a folder layer would be great to make masking for multiple layers at once easy im sure it can be done but with working with lots of layers the approach is anything but simple... Like most apps pen stabilization needs more focus to really get them inking line brushes to feel buttery smooth and flow nicely...i was never a fan of the lazy nezumi approach to line smoothing csp and medibang seem to have really good and simple pen stabilization...and that gives them the edge on line work...but over all this definately a gem of an art program....Version: 3.0.3

Great appWhile pricey this is a great app wether your a professional or just getting started. And like so many have already said its the next best thing to a pocket sized photoshop. My only gripe is while doing bulk colouring or sketch line cleanup, moving my hand along the screen while using my stylus seems to trigger the undo function without hitting the button. And ill have to start again as the redo function wont recover it. Is there some function or setting I'm missing that will restrict the undo function to the undo button alone?.Version: 2.3.12

A very solid must have for digital artistsIts not quite as intuitive as I would like in areas like the eye dropper and such compared with Procreate but I prefer this app over Procreate for the majority of digital art on the go I do for sure!.Version: 2.1.5

Brilliant. Very stableThis app just does everything it should, and is very stable. Everything works without any lag, even with huge brush sizes. The brush engine is very comprehensive.Version: 2.3.27

Way better than I expectedFirst of all, I’m kind of a hack. I’ve never had art-related schooling and mostly I just like to putz around for my own amusement. I loved the original ArtStudio and thru it I was able to have as much fun as I wanted. But somewhere along the line, lots of people I ran across on Instagram were talking up Procreate and so I switched. Procreate is a fine program, but I kind of liked the way “my old shoe fit” and was never able to feel as comfortable as I was with ArtStudio. When ArtStudio finally came out with an update, I choked on the price a bit ... remember, I’m a hacker that’s short on skills. Anyway, I finally got over it and through down the cash. Boy, it’s like I put back on my favorite shoes again. I can kind of get by with the fact there are far less tutorials related to ArtStudio than Procreate because ArtStudio just kind of makes sense to me, and the rest is up to my imagination..Version: 2.3.11

Photoshop on the iPad, except with poorer than desired user experiencePalm rejection is somewhat poor, since accidental undos are alarmingly frequent. Side buttons seem somewhat unresponsive and I can’t seem to rename my brushes for some whatever reason. File explorer is also clunky and outdated, since it relies on an edit button instead of also allowing drag and drop functionality, like Procreate. Other than that performance is good and most essential Photoshop features are present. This would be a perfect Photoshop substitute on iPad if it weren’t for the crippling issues I described above..Version: 1.2.2

If only there’s a bur brushReally good app, but can bur easily.Version: 2.1.7

Best art app for iPadI’m a digital artist and have used pretty much every app available for iPad. There are some that have great features but are either really buggy or lack some basic functionality. The developers of Artstudio Pro are truly amazing and are constantly updating features. At this point, the app has matured to the point that it has everything I need and is totally stable. It’s one of the few apps that fully supports Photoshop brushes. It’s a pleasure to use and, because it is so robustly supported and so frequently updated, I feel confident investing my time and money into it. Save yourself a lot of headaches trying to find the ideal app for art. If Procreate and Photoshop had a baby, this would be it. I can’t recommend this app enough..Version: 4.1.8

ArtStudio Pro revolutionized my artwork!This is the first review I have ever left for a product. I had to log in to show my support. I have been used several products over the years to include GIMP, Inksape, Krita, Procreate, Paper, and several other art programs. I purchased the original ArtStudio and used it on the Ipad2. About 1 month ago, I purchased ArtStudio Pro have been overwhelmed with how good the program is. The layers capabilities are great. It is easy to export files into PSD, TIFF, JPG, PNG and other formats. The only thing I would recommend is adding more undos, I’m not sure how many there are currently, but maybe doubling or tripling the number would be helpful. Other than that, I cannot say enough good things about the program. Thank you Lucky Clan..Version: 5.1.16

Just perfectUnless you’re a complete moron, the interface is very easy to get used to. It has many more (and better) features than procreate which is just what I needed considering how limited I felt using that app for several years. Best purchase I’ve made since then..Version: 2.2.12

Best art appAfter the 3.0 update I think art studio pro become the best art app in ipad I really enjoy to use it for my professional works.Version: 3.0

Best painting software todayI rarely if ever bother to review things from the app stores. But this deserves credit. After CSP announced their sub model for macOS - I tried various software but ArtStudio was the best by far. It is focussed primarily on painting so nothing gets in the way. The brush engine is the best and the tools are mostly intuitively located. Then I bought it for the iPad too. Being able to work seamlessly with both my Cintiq and then my iPad means I can be optimally productive. Procreate have messed up not doing this too. And it’s cool that the iPad and macOS UI is the same. ArtStudio is hands down the best painting platform out there currently and I couldn’t recommend it more highly..Version: 5.1.12

AwsomeJust missing one little thing that could be fit some artists, would be nice if there was a button you could press to view reference of what we are drawing maybe a floating image option or quick view option, but other than that it’s flawless a must have for artists.😀.Version: 1.2.2

About to be my go-to app!Everyone compares this to the other drawing/painting apps and for good reason. There are many out there to choose from and this is in my top 3 for sure. It always had the capability to use photoshop brushes since I’ve owned it. I love the interface overall and the new update allows you to get more screen if you like to see the canvas only without clutter. This helps with screen recording as well. “Grandfathered in” to owning it for life since I paid for the full version back in the day. They are now moving to a subscription model and that could help them put more into the app itself. I love that I got on the train much sooner. I don’t like that I can’t select a layer and then paint on a different layer without adding a mask. Once certain bugs gets fixed, it’ll be a solid 5 from me. I open a document and it’s down to the right. 🫤.Version: 5.0

Omg!!!I love this app its awesome!!!! I like free styling and painting pictures. Whoever made this is so creative!!! I luv this app!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.Version: 5.1.3

Fantastic - my fave iPad art appI’ve been using Artstudio Pro for over a year now and I really love it. Previously my app of choice was Procreate, but ASP beats it in terms of the available tools by a mile. I love being able to crop the canvas and do more complicated things with the selection tools - there’s plenty else you can do but those were what I was badly missing in other apps. What really makes it for me is that you can import ABR brushes, so I’ve got hundreds of brushes in the app now from all the brush packs I bought a few years ago! A tip about importing brushes is to only do them in small sections - if you try and jam 200 brushes into one brush folder, the app struggles and can crash. But if you section them out, it works perfectly, and it’s great having a big library of brushes on a portable device. There’s an active forum where you can get tips or make suggestions, and I’ve had a couple of questions and had them answered by staff within hours of posting. As with most apps there are some changes that would make it more intuitive to use, but I’m pretty confident the staff will introduce them over time, and there’s nothing that makes the app actively difficult to use. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone, but ESPECIALLY if you have brushes you’d like to be using on the go which can’t be imported into apps like Procreate or Medibang..Version: 2.3.12

AmazingSimply amazing. The stuff you can do with this it is just incredible.Version: 3.0.12

Fantastic app,I love it and there is no cleanup when finishedWonderful Wayne.Version: 5.0.2

Outstanding in so many waysWorth every penny! This app has, in my opinion, the very best brush engine in the app store. Despite other apps’ popularity, I personally feel that this app gives me the closest experience to painting with photoshop on a Wacom...the brushes work and feel great. The ui, though looking slightly dated, is extremely functional and fluid to use. Bravo, this app is pure gold.Version: 2.3.12

Impressive, versatile, reliableVery clean, professional, practical UI Reliable, extremely rare crashes Dark Mode theme is very appreciated Organised layout, Easy to look at Essential tools & Filters However, more tweaks could and should already be utilised; namely customising the tool bar, there's large white space that would be brilliantly used as a space for one or two more tools, e.g the total tool bar could have: Select, Move, Brush, Eraser, Text, Layers, Colour. With the current white space that's unnecessary and frustrating, there's no reason why at least one tool have a button there for access instead of the fiddly quick menu. The app falls short as it's time consuming and irritating to cycle through the most common used tools with the limited menu bar, unable to have the permanent access and resorting instead to constantly swapping the existing buttons to switch back and forth between tools..Version: 4.0.14

The Best Drawing AppI have preferred ArtStudio since it arrived on the App Store. I have tested many other paint and draw programs, but none of them come close to its power and features. I admit that when I first tried ArtStudio Pro I was a bit overwhelmed, but after using it a few weeks I was able to delete ArtStudio as I was now fully comfortable with Pro. There is no developer on the AppStore who is as accessible and responsive as Sylwester Los. I usually get a response from him within a few hours. Recently I requested a longer delay on the clone tool anchor setting, and only a few days later an update was posted with a fix!.Version: 2.1.8

Great with potential to be outstandingIve been using Art Set for a while which I love, and I’d love to see canvas options in this app. Still playing around with it and looking forward to using the desktop version as well..Version: 5.1.21

Underrated and AmazingSo...I’m a digital artist, and have been at this for a very long time. I was very used to photoshop and was good with their software until they added their subscription based model, which I whole heartedly do not support. When I got an iPad, I enjoyed procreate, but it was missing a lot of features I felt were essential for what I do, which is draw and write comics (having no text tool was NOT an option). A good friend recommended Art Studio Pro to me, and for the past year and a half, this is virtually the only software I have used to create my comic pages and other art. It has nearly every feature one could need, and has compatibility to add resources from photoshop like brushes, textures, and more. The one thing that I wish it had was a pen-tool or path-tool equivalent, and that’s the only thing that keeps me holding onto my old copy of PS CS5. Overall, I highly recommend this app to anyone drawing on an iPad. The price and the experience cannot be beat. There is also a desktop version that works pretty well. Don’t waste your money on the subscription based photoshop app for iPad. Invest in this instead..Version: 2.3.8

PERFECT app... when it will OPENThis app is everything i ever wanted in an Artstudio upgrade: the increased amount of starting colors, the menu explaining all the tools, and in particular the screen recording feature are more than i could ever ask for. But! Frequently, and for sometimes long stretches of time, i will open the program and be greeted by a blank canvas, with none of the buttons responding. The issue will sometimes resolve itself, but more often than not i enter a cycle of wait, close, re-open, wait, close, re-open, and then shutting off and turning on my ipad again in desperation. However, none of these things seem to actually fix the problem. From what i can tell, the program will simply open back up whenever it “feels” like it, which is extremely frustrating when i need to work on something! I am unsure if i caused this somehow, but seeing as i only have five pieces on the app total, i doubt it. I LOVE THE APP, BUT PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE!.Version: 2.0.1

Really deep art appI like this and there are different tools to use in addition to procreate. Therefore, you can easily justify this -and-procreate and use them for different use cases. I use maybe 20% of the potential tools in this app, and that alone justifies the price..Version: 2.2.1

Just like Photoshop!This app is incredible! Adobe yet again disappointed me with the limited capabilities of their Sketch App. I had the old version or artstudio on my iphone and when I got an ipad pro I was just WISHING this app would be updated. I thought the developers stopped working on it. I was so heartbroken haha. But I was pleasantly surprised by this release! Artstudio knows exactly what artists want from a mobile studio and created a Photoshop on mobile better than Adobe ever could. Within minutes of installing this app I had no problem getting a hang of it. UI is very intuitive. Im constantly impressed by what this app is capable of. And the brush tool with the Apple pencil blows Wacom Cintiq out of the water. Congratulations Lucky Clan, you and Apple have made Wacom obsolete!.Version: 1.3.7

Hands down favorite!This is my go to digital art app on my iPhone, as well as one of my favorite apps overall. It's got so much functionality and the developer just keeps adding more, constantly improving it, and often with major additions to its already impressive list of abilities. The fact I don't have to pay for an ongoing subscription is also something I appreciate, very much. This app is simply an amazing app. It has all the tools you need, ones you'd find in robust computer software [i.e. Photoshop]. It's also been in constant development since I first started using it many years ago. That includes excellent support from the developer. I really can't say enough good things about the Artstudio Pro app. Whatever you need, it probably has. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say, I love it! I highly recommend it to anyone considering trying it..Version: 4.1

Brilliant AppI’ve been looking for a good drawing app, and this has everything I want. It’s easy to use and you aren’t tied into a subscription. You just pay a one price, unlike other drawing apps where you have to pay a monthly subscription. If you have any issues you get a quick response and they are resolved. If you are looking for a good drawing app that allows you to create any kind of art work you want, this is the app for you. 😘😘😘😘.Version: 3.0.8

Wow I Love How This Draws!-I have had the App on and off my IPad for a lot of years now! each time I was impressed with the Range It set out to do! So Capable- The Drawing Experience was good but — Now the DRAWING experience is Fantastic! I Love This Program ! So much So - I went and Bought it for My IMac as well ! Both Draw So Absolutely Wonderful Now! ( But the IMac needs to be able to be flexible with their colour swatches and move around , shrink the colour side on the UI side. Maybe make it more like the interface— like the iPad ! Screen estate n all but Apart from that - ), This Is A Keeper! Fantastic Drawing Experience!.Version: 2.2.3

It’s awesomeFavourite painting app on iPad so far, if I’m to give constructive criticism the things I miss are: a shortcut to the transform tool on screen, being able to move the location of the size/flow brush sliders or at least have them closer to the bottom left corner of the screen so I could adjust w my left hand, blend if on the layer mode/effects. Also the ability to pick up a patch of the canvas rather than a single colour with the wet brush like the mixer brush does in photoshop would be a dream But really the app is awesome and it feels a lot more comfortable than all the other ones I’ve tried.Version: 1.2.2

An update on my previous reviewWhen I first started using Artstudio Pro, I reviewed it saying how much I liked using it. But I felt it needed more fonts. Now, I have found the forum and am able to download thousands of fonts! I also found more brushes. I really love this app! It has taken over from my use of any other art developing app..Version: 2.0.8

Great app for my useI use the app daily and find it very useful for my needs. I had a few issues with it crashing but the issue has been resolved. Money well spent..Version: 1.2.2

Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!Wow, I remember using the original Artstudio on the first gen ipad. Back then it was a cool, functional app. But this version is something else entirely. TLDR; I’ve used just about every drawing and painting app out there for the ipad, stretching all the way back to first gen ipad and big rubber conductive stylus with the Brushes app. This app has quickly taken the throne and is now the first and only app i open for drawing and painting. ArtStudio offers a full fledged image editing environment to rival the likes of photoshop, GIMP and affinity photo. The brush engine is just something that needs to be experienced to really appreciate. These brushes FEEL SOOO GOOD and they are completely customizable, importable and exportable. Performance is top notch with buttery smooth brush strokes, 120hz zooming an panning and a snappy, responsive UI. I can’t recommend this app enough. For whatever reason, everyone seems to be on the “Procreate” train when it comes to painting apps on the ipad. IMHO, this app beats procreate by a HUGE margin in absolutely every category..Version: 1.3.1

Better than procreateHaving used both programs a lot I have noticed that Artstudio's brushes feel much better, much more responsive with better acceleration and a much much better line tappering. Also coming from photoshop I feel the UI makes more sense to me..Version: 2.2.8

Absolutely Fantastic!So I’ve only use Artstudio for a few days now and I have to say, it’s fantastic. This app is like if Clip Studio and Procreate had a baby, this would be it. I’m a heavy user of both CSP and Procreate as a profesional comic artist and Illustrator and I have to say, I’m very please. The UI is sleek and compact but all the features and functions are very easily accessible. Super important for me are the shortcut keys, and I can use my Xkeys with this app, which is great. There are too many features and functions I could talk about in comparison between all 3 apps and how this app excels, but that would be a very long review. Suffice to say this could very well become my main app for my workflow going forward. Great Job to the Developers!.Version: 4.1

Very Powerful Artist toolArtstudio Pro is awesome,has so many features and an amazing brush engine.Just gets better and better,well done!.Version: 2.0.12

Best app next to PhotoshopThe developers of Artstudio Pro have done a great job with this app. I feel like I’ve jumped into Photoshop on the iPad with all my favourite brushes and without paying the stupid subscription. This is app is solid, I’ve pushed it hard without any crashes. What I like mostly about using ASP is the developers are always working to make it better. Save your money and buy Artstudio Pro, you won’t regret it just as I didn’t..Version: 2.0.19

Way better than Procreate when it comes to doing more precise workMore like Photoshop and mirrors that workflow better for production art use! I like being able to move UI elements around to suit my working needs. Great.Version: 4.1.8

Im very impressedVery versatile for both graphic designers and digital painters. One of the best painting apps on the app store!.Version: 2.3.23

Awesome appAmazing app for learning and playing on digital images. Thanks!.Version: 2.2.11

Great AppBetter than procreate in many ways, fantastic mix engine. They do need to improve things like the auto shapes could allow for multiple anchor point editing without needing to do a seperate select and transform, like procreate does but in general it’s a better application. Please work on allowing multiple anchor points to edit selection lines and shapes. Then just focus on performance and stability further. I would also strongly suggest reviewing your onetime pricing, in AUD it’s around $55 vs procreate being $20, that’s a massive difference that will turn many people off your application before they even get to see how great it is. Please consider bringing the onetime charge down to around $25 AUD so you can compete with procreate as this should be the number 1 iPad drawing application..Version: 5.1.7

LoveFeels so much better compared to other drawing applications I’ve tried. I don’t know if it can be done, but I’d love if there was a way to import Clip Paint brushes or SAI brush settings without having to recreate the brush from scratch..Version: 2.3.8

Brilliant appI do digital colourisation of old photos and I use thus opposed to the overpriced subscription based software of Adobe. Lovely and helpful developer too when I had a problem.Version: 3.0.18

1 Tool missing that would almost make it Perfect!!I Love This App So Much…. But I have been waiting & waiting to see if you added The PEN TOOL, And All the Things it can do…. I Just Know You Guys can do it! I Believe in YOU!!!! Seriously I Really Do I think you Guys & Gals, can pull that off very easily, And just the fact that I use it like ALL the time, Especially for Logo Designs and stuff like that, And I’m sure it is not just me that would want it Many Other people would Love to have it as well!!!! That and like one other thing is what would make me Switch from Photoshop to ARTSTUDIO Pro, on iPad Pro, Cause I’m planning on doing a Whole Graphic Novel in ARTSTUDIO Pro…. I Ask you to Please Consider Putting the PEN TOOL in?????????.Version: 3.2.17

Good & Easy replacement for old school PhotoshopThere’s a lot about this layered photo/image editor that is very good. If you’ve used photoshop, then this will be very easy to use as it’s very reminiscent of the good old days when photoshop was powerful and usable without excess complexity. The ONLY reason I have to give this 4 stars is the text editing which is not as easy as the older version (ArtStudio) of this app. It is hard to change the look of text without having to specifically select characters in a text box. Also, I keep creating new txt boxes by accident when I am trying to edit text. You really should be able to select a text box and change the text kerning spacing , font size and type without having to go into the text itself. Unless you need to have different attributes for characters in a text box, complete changes to all text should be made possible by having the text box selected without having to change the lock while the text is highlighted. Access to the contents of a text layer needs to be more immediate. Also, double tapping on a text layer should allow you to change font, line spacing, size, kerning for the contents of that text layer. The text/font adjustment editor UI experience just needs a bit more improvement.Version: 5.1.14

Fantastic app but too many glitchesThis app is one of my favorite art apps to use on my iPad Pro, it could rival with Clip Studio and Procreate however the amount of glitches and freezing is very frustrating. Even with all the updates and bug fixes, it’s still just not a stable app unfortunately. I hope this gets fixed permanently in the near future as this app has the potential to be one of the best creative apps on iPad! Please note what I have stated. And I hope this gets resolved soon. Thanks.Version: 4.0.4

Seems kinda awesomeIt’s like getting Procreate and Photoshop 3 all in one. Works well with the Apple Pencil too..Version: 1.2.2

An "On-The-Go Miracle"I'll be honest... I've been guilty of getting some of my apps from third party sources, this app being one I discovered while doing just that. For the last year, I've found that this app has literally become an everyday part of my life. There is so much that simply cannot be done in the field of image manipulation on an iPhone, that this app as this app alone seems to both make possible, and make easy. I had no qualms about forking over the just under twelve bucks asked for this app... None. I would've paid double (but don't go changing the price, lol... I'm always looking for the best deal, and you've got it priced perfectly😉). This app allows one to do on-the-go what could previously only be done on an actual computer. Miraculous app, worth every penny, you won't be disappointed.💯 PS I never write reviews, either, so.... 😉👍🏼👍🏼.Version: 2.1.9

Amazing software but…Heya, I’ve just started using this app on my iPad and it’s really good! The range of brushes you get for free alongside all the tools really have made this app worth buying. However whenever I try to open up a new canvas, it doesn’t let me and either freezes/doesn’t respond. Do you have any ways to fix this issue?.Version: 5.1.13

Fantastic!I’m using Artstudio Pro everyday for illustration work. It works like a dream since the upgrade in early 2018. I particularly like the interface which allows one to have brushes and colors at your fingertips as opposed to opening and closing menus. It also has text and crop tools and everything else you’d expect from an art app. Five stars!.Version: 1.1.5

Cool, but could use a better reference panelThe best iOS art app I’ve found so far. I’d give 5 stars if the reference panel could show more than one image at once, kinda like PureRef..Version: 4.0.10

One of my all time favorite apps.I could go on and on giving positive lip service to this app. I’ve been using art studio since inception and and now use art studio pro almost daily. That said, there is one thing that has been bothering since I got the app and I actually assume there is probably an option I could click to clear it up but I just haven’t seen one in my absent minded rummaging through options. The problem I’m having is that the gallery is stored in “the cloud” . The iPad itself has thumbnail representations which you click on and then wait for the file to download, which can take a while depending on your project size. The real problem for me is that the thumbnails all have question marks on them and no picture to represent the artwork. I’m not in the habit of naming every piece and even if I was I wouldn’t remember what name represents what picture. Is there something I’m missing here? Some way to enable the thumbnails to have picture representations of the artwork? Thank you..Version: 2.3.24

Fun Traditional Feel! ✨ Some Things to be AddedI love the traditional feel of this app! Canvas texture overlays are something many programs don’t have out of the box if you really want to get that cool concept art look. Trust me, I’ve tried them all in my 12 years of art professional art experience. It’s like everything you could ever want in Photoshop, Procreate, and Clip Studio Paint. It’s packed with features without the subscription hassle. (Yes you can pay 9.99 a year which is cheaper than others, but you can also buy permanently for 40$. Which is still cheaper than Adobe and Clip Studio. Goodness so much cheaper!) I also love that you can import .abr brush formats! It’s very easy to keep brush collections between multiple programs. Some things I really, really want is multiple references in the reference window and reference window opacity adjustment! I’m the type of artist who likes to scroll through my many reference photos in one window when working on something. Yes, you can compile a mood board in VizRef for one big collage or just have photos app open on the side, but multiple reference loading would be nice like in Clip Studio and Ibis Paint. Overall, this app is very much worth it and I look forward to future updates! 💖💋❤️💕✨.Version: 5.1.18

Simply amazing!!I can’t thank the team enough for the amazing experience I’ve had with Artstudio pro since the first day I used it. The painting feeling is incredible and the customisation options are a blessing. I feel like I’m using a better version of Photoshop.Version: 2.3.24

Faster than ProcreateI love the brush speed, blending and default brush. I’ve used Procreate for quite a while. I’m really familiar with it so switching completely is tough. The pure painting and blending on Art Studio is better than Procreate IMO. Some of the functions I wish they had in Art Studio are: curve and shape assist. Procreate helps you draw perfect curves and circles by drawing and holding the pen at arc or shape completion. It would be nice to be able to add transform and flip canvas to shortcut in painting mode, since I don’t use a keyboard; or as a gesture command. It’s possible these options exist and I missed it in the info. I was prompted to do this review immediately after exiting, but I took about 2 hours to paint and put it through my normal process. Overall, it beats Procreate. I can live without the curve assist and shortcuts in paint mode..Version: 2.3.13

The new v3Very good over all except for a bug that won’t let me start a line in the first 1/5 of the right side, it is very disruptive..Version: 3.0

Great app! Needs a couple of things though.Can easily create great art with this app! My only desire is to have a straight line/circle shape tool added. I often find myself wishing this was included, as it was in the old ArtStudio app..Version: 1.2.2

ExcellentExcellent app, thank you for not forcing old buyers to pay again for subscription. Wish the developers all the best and success..Version: 5.0

Good app, but please add more finger support!I personally draw with my finger a lot, it would be nice if we could have some features meant for fingers specifically! (such as pressure for fingers (faster stroke, thicker / thinner like than a slower stroke)) but great app overall, i can’t wait to try it with my adonit pixel!.Version: 4.0.13

Amazing👍.Version: 5.0

The best photo editing app for iPadI’ve been trying so many apps looking to find something similar to photoshop for iPad Pro and this app is the closest one I have found and it’s just amazing what those guys are doing, I just want to say thank you and keep up the good work guys. Fantastic!!!!!.Version: 1.2.3

NEED BUG FIXAmazing app, still 5 stars. HOWEVER, I just started experiencing a pretty serious glitch with the gradient layer effects since the latest update. When the gradient overlay effect is enabled, the app is suddenly not allowing a different gradient (other than the default white-black) to be selected. The menus and view controllers are still behaving as expected; they still allow a user to select a different gradient. However, once that menu is closed and the view controller comes back to the primary gradient overlay menu (opacity, blend mode, etc), the gradient you thought you selected has not applied. I tried selecting several different ones; including the spectrums, and the basic ones as well. None appear to be working. In addition, when attempt to select the gradient itself to make manual changes to the hues or adjust scale, it’s not showing the different hue containers, midpoints, or opacity adjustments. I have tried troubleshooting it in every possible way, but it’s apparently something I can’t fix. Just a heads up, please fix soon. Thanks guys!!!.Version: 3.1.8

Two major problemsBest art app ever for any touch screen. Only one flaw, on huge documents it crashes if the screen closes or the app is minimised for another app. So make sure to save often on very big documents. For those like me who were wondering, yes you can use as many layers on this no matter how big the canvas is. A major bug just got squashed within 24 hours, so huge customer service effort. This is just as good as photoshop for pc. Forget The other big art app on iPad, this one does everything and more..Version: 3.0.17

ArtStudio Pro is better than ever!ArtStudio Pro is, in my opinion, the superior art app for the iPad! I came from digital painting in Photoshop to using the iPad as my primary digital art tool, and ArtStudio Pro is practically a replica of Photoshop. I don’t find myself missing Photoshop at all and transitioning to ArtStudio Pro is practically seamless. You won’t be disappointed with this App!.Version: 3.0.7

The absence of documentation is notableThough a powerful tool, the absence of documentation regarding how to use it is notable. Art StudioPro is similar to early versions of Microsoft software where one had to “turn over every stone” to find essential tools and functions. Instead of simplifying the steps and reducing the number of key clicks needed to achieve routine functions, ArtStudioPro requires that you memorize chains of seemingly unrelated key clicks under various menus to achieve these functions. None of the steps are intuitive in sequence or in grouping under menus. Worse, there is no place to go, where the steps for any given function is documented in a clear and useful manner. I understand that if you are an experienced photoshop user then this software will seem familiar. However, if you do not have a photoshop background, then look elsewhere (eg Procreate) as this is a most counterintuitive experience that will result in frustration and lost time..Version: 3.0.19

DREAM APPJust purchased this and am so happy. It’s my dream come true. Used a very old version of photoshop for years, and then not very in depth, but suited me fine for my needs. This has everything I want, just like all the basic things I used to use in photoshop, and it is SO easy to navigate. I had bought Affinity, and despite useful tutorials just couldn’t find my way round it at all, and I hated the uber graphic style of all the samples..Version: 3.0.19
